Since I was young, Russia was always, if not our enemy, at least the antithesis to the American beliefs of freedom of speech, religion and political affiliation.
It seems that years ago the GOP, in their greed, invited Russian oligarchs to subversively take over America.

My purple African Violet has been hiding a beautiful secret beneath its leaves, which I would have never noticed except for moving it to a higher shelf with a plant light for the winter. Such gorgeous texture and contrasting colors!

So, that seems like a call the particular officers involved in it to testify before Congress.
Unmasked, and unscripted, and without counsel.
Let the agents speak, and let's hear what they have to say for themselves.
At a minimum, they'll not be harrassing citizens while testifying.

"What are believed to be ICE agents" is not a sentence the news should have to use to report on law enforcement operations.
